The common cold is the most common acute respiratory infectious disease, with a high incidence and widespread susceptibility. Most common colds are self-limited but can lead to serious social and economic burdens. In recent years, the symptoms of common cold patients have been complex and diverse, and some patients can develop serious complications, even threatening their lives. The Anti-infection Committee, Emergency Doctor Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association has developed the Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Common Cold in Adults, 2023, which explored 15 important issues related to clinical practice. This article provides a detailed and comprehensive interpretation of the guideline, in order to better understand the diagnosis and treatment of adult common cold and serve clinical practice.
